Every year on Father's Day weekend, the village of Ephraim has a Fyr Ball Festival. A Scandinavian tradition, residents select a village chieftain, bonfires are lit all around Eagle Harbor and fireworks end the night. The intent of the bonfires is to burn off the Witch of Winter and welcome summer.
On Saturday night, I carted a collapsable canvas chair and Off to a public dock. Though I was not as close to the Village Hall as I had wished, I ended up in a perfect location. All said and done, I saw 15 bonfires and plenty of fireworks. I told my family that the bonfires were the largest birthday candles ever. It was a great day!
INCREDIBLE firework pictures, sounds like even better memories. What a trip you are having!
